The bearing portion 10 of the holding body 9 is formed to have a width for holding the extension 6 of the locking body 4. When the holding body 9 simply passes through the concave portion 7 from the opened position, the resistance is small because the contact area with the frame-shaped rising portion is small. However, when reaching the tip of the extension 6, the contact area between the bearing 10 and the extension 6 becomes large, a predetermined load resistance is applied, and the holding body 9 can be held at a predetermined position by further pushing. It has become. Of course, in order to return the holding body 9 to the open position, it is only necessary to push and open the holding body 9 against the contact resistance between the bearing 10 and the extension 6.

When the load due to the contact resistance between the bearing portion 10 and the extension portion 6 decreases during use, it is sufficient to simply expand the both ends of the pipe-shaped shaft 12 again using a punch or the like and re-swage.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 13 denotes a ring portion provided on the holding body 9;
However, it is attached by fitting a groove 15 formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof. The packing 14 is desirably made of silicone resin from the viewpoint of preventing rash and the like.
